1 Trans Mountain, Site C, and BC LNG: Is it Time for a Sea Change? Matthew Keen and Emily Chan Presented May 26, 2016 at BEST 2016
2 Outline Duty to consult Roles of project proponent and regulator Consultation in the EA and post-ea process BC examples: Site C, Trans Mountain Expansion, Pacific Northwest LNG Federal government changes
3 Duty to Consult Crown s obligation to consult with First Nations whose Aboriginal rights may be adversely affected by Crown decisions Grounded in the honour of the Crown Arises when the Crown has knowledge, real or constructive of the potential existence of the Aboriginal right or title and contemplates conduct that might adversely affect it (Haida Nation, 2004 SCC 73, para. 35)
4 Duty to consult Scope and content of duty varies depending on: Preliminary assessment of strength of claim Seriousness of potential adverse effect upon the rights or title claimed Spectrum: Low: weak claim, little or no potential for serious impact High: strong claim, potential adverse impacts are serious
5 Duty to consult Duty to accommodate: Taking steps to avoid irreparable harm or to minimize the effects of infringement, pending final resolution of the claim No duty to agree; no veto Title and consent (Tsilhqot in Nation v. British Columbia, 2014 SCC 44 ) Justification (R. v. Sparrow, [1990] 1 SCR 1075) Compelling and substantial objective Crown s fiduciary obligation to the group.
6 Role of Project Proponent Procedural aspects of consultation > Providing notice and project information > Capacity funding > Meeting with communities > Obtaining and discussing information about specific community interests that may be affected > Considering modification to plans to avoid or mitigate impacts > Documenting engagement, specific Aboriginal interests that may be impacted, and any modifications to address concern > Relaying community feedback to the Crown > Proposing accommodation measures
7 Role of Crown What cannot be delegated? > Determining whether DTC is triggered > Identifying communities owed a consultation duty > Required depth of consultation > Assessing adequacy of consultation > Determining what accommodation, if any, is required
8 Role of Regulator Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. v. Carrier Sekani Tribal Council, 2010 SCC 43: [55] The duty on a tribunal to consider consultation and the scope of that inquiry depends on the mandate conferred by the legislation that creates the tribunal. Tribunals are confined to the powers conferred on them by their constituent legislation: the role of particular tribunals in relation to consultation depends on the duties and powers the legislature has conferred on it. [56] The legislature may choose to delegate to a tribunal the Crown s duty to consult. [57] Alternatively, the legislature may choose to confine a tribunal s power to determinations of whether adequate consultation has taken place, as a condition of its statutory decision-making process. In this case, the tribunal is not itself engaged in the consultation. Rather, it is reviewing whether the Crown has discharged its duty to consult with a given First Nation about potential adverse impacts on their Aboriginal interest relevant to the decision at hand. [58] Tribunals considering resource issues touching on Aboriginal interests may have neither of these duties, one of these duties, or both depending on what responsibilities the legislature has conferred on them.
